Where to buy a bed and breakfast or a guest house?

Buying a bed and breakfast or a house with guest rooms is both a real estate and a business investment. As with any real estate investment, the location of your home is an essential element for its long-term value.

But you must also take into account the tourist attractiveness of your future tourist domain. Indeed, the profitability of a gite depends on both the price per night and the number of nights (the nights) of rental per year. If you rent at a high rate but only during the months of July and August, your profitability will be much lower than that of a gite with a lower rate but receiving vacationers all year long. The occupancy rate (% of rental over the year) is therefore a major criterion for your holiday rental.

What are the elements that will allow you to have the best occupancy rate? The proximity of a tourist site is one of the elements that will allow you to benefit from an important demand. We therefore present you a set of major tourist destinations in France and a link allowing you to directly find the advertisements of the lodgings and guest houses for sale in the vicinity (within a 30 km radius). 

 

Investing in a bed and breakfast or guest house near tourist sites

Apart from Paris, which is the main tourist destination in France, we can group tourist sites into several categories between amusement parks, historical monuments, zoos, ...

Amusement parks

They have a very strong attendance and consequently drain many tourists in search of accommodation. Disneyland Paris with more than 15 million visitors is the first park in France. The Puy du Fou (Vendée 85), the Parc Astérix (Oise 60) and the Futuroscope (Vienne 86) attract more than 2 million visitors each year. Investing in a bed and breakfast or a self-catering cottage near these parks will allow you to attract a large population. 

We offer you a selection of properties for tourism (gite or bed and breakfast) within a 30 km radius of many theme parks:

 

Zoological parks

Many sites also attract tourists just for the beauty of the landscapes. We will not detail all the French tourist sites that flourish in the mountains or by the sea, but only a few remarkable sites such as the Padirac chasm in the Lot which attracts nearly 500,000 visitors each year.


The list is unfortunately too long to present all the richness of the French heritage which allows us to be the first tourist destination in the world.
